Well, I awoke somewhat bright and early, sans hangover, maybe thanks to my megadosin' on ibuprofen last evenin'. I wanted to transfer all them pictures I took at Luckenbach yesterday and see what I got. Well, some were way too dark, but I was expectin' that because the flash had seemed not to be workin'. Almost all of the rest were fuzzy. Now, I have had this little Largan Chameleon camera for a number of years and carry it in my car all the time because it is small and takes 75 or more pictures before the memory is full. The pictures are never professional quality, but they are usually pretty serviceable to display events. Is this camera on its last legs? Is it time to purchase a replacement? I was almost sure that was the case, until I remembered just recently I discovered this little slide switch on the side of the camera that switched from portrait mode to landscape mode. I had previously had a lot of difficulty takin' portrait shots with this little camera, and marveled at my discovery. However, I ended up takin' 50 or so landscape shots yesterday with that switch in portrait mode. That likely explains why the pictures are all fuzzy and might also be the cause of the flash not operatin'. Either way, despite my best intentions, I have no pictures of my day at Luckenbach to share.

I found this item in my hotmail SPAM box: from: ƒTƒ“ƒtƒ@ƒCƒiƒ“ƒX subject: ‚²—ZŽ‘‚µ‚Ü‚· . . . while the subject looked like it was most interestin', I just seldom read SPAM of any kind.*
[UPDATE: This one is ever more interestin': from: ^^Áú°êºë«~ subject: ~ ~ ·s³f¨ì³á,½ÐÂà±Hµ¹§A³Ì¦nªºªB¤Í³á . . . it does make one wish one could read gibberish, just to see what this crud was about before I flushed it.]
*One of the funny things I find about bloggin' usin' Zempt, which I like because it spellchecks, is that it refuses to post some items that contain strange characters. I cannot paste a © in a post in Zempt, but instead have to code it. So if I want to place some odd characters in one of my posts, I have to do that through the MT console. I also have to use the MT console to upload and post pics, unless I want to do it the way I used to do it, which was to FTP the pics and then hand code the HTML.**

Oh well, now you'll just have to come back! To take proper pictures, that is. Really! *grin!*
Zane remembers you now. Every time I load up your blog page he points to your little picture in the corner and goes "Tiiiiii!" (I think he's trying to say "Tiger!")
